A man wanted on a parole violation, driving in northwest Denver, failed to stop for officers on Tuesday evening and crashed a short time later, police said.
The driver who failed to stop, and the driver of a secondary vehicle that was part of a two-vehicle collision, were both taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, said Doug Schepman, a police spokesman.
The driver who allegedly eluded officers will be arrested when he is discharged from the hospital. Beyond eluding, he’ll face a possession of a weapon by a previous felon charge, Schepman said.
Another man in the vehicle driven by the alleged parole violator was wanted on a warrant and he was taken into custody. A woman in the same vehicle was also held by police.
The incident happened at about 6 p.m. in the area of West 41st Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard, police said.
Southbound lanes of Sheridan were shutdown from 40th to 42nd avenues by the incident.
